A 2500 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires MVC to permit individuals with certain medical conditions to display decal on license plate.

This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to allow drivers with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis to voluntarily indicate this on their license. Individuals who choose to indicate their diagnosis would receive two reflective, removable decals to display on their vehicle, though they may opt not to use them. The MVC may charge a fee covering only the cost of producing and distributing the decals. The bill directly affects New Jersey residents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who hold valid driver's licenses or ID cards. It creates a simple, voluntary mechanism for drivers to signal their diagnosis to law enforcement, without mandating decal use.
